You could do a script that uses notify-send to popup every x secs/mins to show you users logged in. e.g.

Code:

#! /bin/bash

while [ 1 ]; do
     notify-send "Users Logged In" "`who -u`"
     sleep 5m
done

Or do your shutdown via commandline. A reminder will automatically popup (until shutdown starts) warning users the system is going down, giving them time to complete/save their work.

Code:

shutdown -h +(put number here for how long you want the system to wait before shutdown starts)

This will create a log and notify you in real time via notify send and voice for any user logged in that is not the original user. I tested and it works on mys system.

Hope this helps.

5 while [ 1 ]
6 do notify-send "User Logged in: $(who -u| grep -v $USER| cut -c1-8)"
7 espeak "Unwanted log in by"
8 espeak $(who -u | grep -v $USER)
9 echo $(who -u | grep -v $USER ) >> /home/joe/System-Logs/loguser
10 sleep 5
11 done

I knew my simple method would get beaten

Just a slight addition. Replace /home/joe with your username.
